Style

 

Esie:

A anụ ahụ stalker onye igbe Ọtọdọks stance, Cotto mepụtara mma ọkpọ nkà ma ka prefers na-abịa ogologo n'ihu, na-eyi ndị na-emegide ala na a na ajọ ahu agha. Cotto favors hooks and uppercuts to straight punches and turns every bout into a war of attrition. Doesn’t have lights-out punching power but is very punishing. Most of his stoppage victories have come late, mgbe ya onye iro a na-eyi ala. Will often leave himself open to counters when trying to unleash his offense.

 

Alvarez:

Eme ihe ike ike, anụ ahụ fighter na underrated ọkpọ nkà na quickness, Alvarez mgbe wears emegide ala na-agbanwe agbanwe nrụgide na arọ-nyefee punches. Will use feints and counters to throw is opponents timing off and create openings for a strength-sapping body attack. Carries fight-changing power in both hands but sometimes doesn’t throw enough punches. While he is most known for his offensive skills, Alvarez nwere ezigbo, ma ọ bụghị oké, nzere nkà slipping na igbochi punches.

 

Eme

 

Esie:

* Isi Mmegide - Cotto bụ ikekwe nnọọ ihe kasị mma ahu puncher na egwuregwu taa. He wings thunderous hooks on the inside that make contact with whatever is available: ọgịrịga, n'ubu, toso, obi, na ogwe aka, na ahụhụ results.

 

* Ike - Cotto bụ ike na nke anụ ahụ fighter. Even as he has grown from junior welterweight up to middleweight, ọ na-anọgide a anụ ahụ ike, ike nke na yi ala ibu iro.

 

* Obi - Cotto eburu a otutu nganga mgbe ọ emee n'ime mgbanaka. He has been in a number of wars where he’s been cut, kụrụ aka ala, ma ọ bụ na ndị ọzọ siri ọnọdụ, na Cotto egosiwo a mmeri obi.

 

Alvarez:

* Punching Power - Alvarez eburu égbè eluigwe na ma ọkpọ. He is knockout power in either hand, ma ya kasị agbawa obi ngwá agha bi-ekpe-ya nko. A single left hook rendered the iron-jawed Carlos Baldomir unconscious and his knockout of James Kirkland was a potential knockout of the year candidate.

 

* Ike - Alvarez bụ a n'ụzọ anụ ahụ-maturing na thickly-wuru fighter na anwansi ike. He is effective in backing fighters up, ọbụna mgbe bụghị ọdịda iwepụ punches. Against the smaller Josesito Lopez, o weliri ya anya ụkwụ ya na zitere ya ka kwaaji na punches na rutere megide ya onye iro igbe.

 

* Ahụhụ Isi Mmegide - Alvarez prefers na-eyi-emegide ya ala na omenala Mexico ejiji nke ahụhụ ahụ. While he is economical with his punches, ọ na-anapụta kacha leverage na onye ọ bụla ntụmadị, karịsịa ndinuak hapụrụ nko ka imeju.

 

Adịghị Ike

 

Esie:

* Mmetụta nke Agha - Cotto e mpi megide ụwa-klas mmegide maka ihe karịrị afọ iri. He suffered two brutal losses to Antonio Margarito and Manny Pacquiao and suffered punishment in his wins over Ricardo Torres, Zab Juda, na Shane Mosley. While he has had a resurgence working with Freddie Roach, na cumulative mmetụta nke ya tupu agha nwere ike ịbụ a mebie.

 

* Easy see - Cotto mere ka ndozi na-azara ọnụ ya ma ka nwere mindset na ya kasị mma ozize bụ ezi iwe. His wide open offense and relentless body attack often leaves him open to be hit with counterpunches, isi hooks na uppercuts.

 

* Chin - Jikọtara ihe iwe na doo ya ewekarị ịrụ ụka punches, Cotto si shaky agba nwere ike ịbụ a uzommeputa maka ọdachi. Cotto was wobbled or dropped in several of his earlier fights and then battered, bloodied na TKO'd ya ịlụ ọgụ megide Margarito (1abụrụ ọgụ) na Pacquiao. Even the light-punching Floyd Mayweather staggered him late in their fight.

 

Alvarez:

* Otu akụkụ - Alvarez adịghị imeghari ọma ke ufọt ufọt agha. He comes in with a single game-plan and has not shown the ability to adjust even when his tactics are not working. He struggled in his wins over Austin Trout and Erislandy Lara and was easily out-boxed against Mayweather.

 

* Ike ọgwụgwụ - Alvarez-arụsi ọrụ ike na mgbatị na bụ mgbe niile na oké udi ma mgbe chọtara ya ike na-aga zuru tilt maka ihe dum gburugburu, karịsịa dị ka ya ịlụ ọgụ na-aga n'ime n'etiti ma ọ bụ mgbe e mesịrị agba. In his match with Austin Trout, Alvarez gosiri oké njọ ike ọgwụgwụ mgbe ụfọdụ na ọbụna hụrụ onwe ya akwado.

 

* Easy see -Alvarez bụ ka ihe iwe-akpa ụdị fighter emi amade itinye nrụgide-emegide ya. He will leave himself open to counter punches, karịsịa n'aka nri na counter hapụrụ hooks.

PENECALE amụma

 

Cotto ga-emeghe tinye n'ọrụ ya underrated ọkpọ nkà na quickness, akpụ akpụ na mpụta, na jabbing ná mgbalị na-Alvarez si mwube ụkwụ ya. Alvarez will advance trying to establish his own jab and work the body. Whenever Alvarez gets too close, Cotto ga pivot pụọ na kwụpụ on n'akuku na ole na ole ike jabs. The first two rounds will be strategical but tense. The eruption can happen at any time.

 

The edinam ga-amalite nditetịm na 3Rebecca gburugburu dị ka Alvarez na-na-eru nso na agha Cotto na-amalite na-eguzo ya n'ala. Like a couple of mountain rams butting heads and locking horns, ike punches ga-amalite ofufe. Cotto will throw flashier combinations, featuring overhand ikike ka isi, ekpe hooks aka ahu, na ike jabs na ihu na toso. Alvarez will dig his toes in and throw thumping single shots, uppercuts na hooks, ma ka isi na aru, nke na-eweta ihe abrasion n'okpuru Cotto ekpe anya na ọbara seeping si ya n'ọnụ.

 

Ofụri n'etiti agba, Cotto n'ọkwá ọkpọ na skillset ga-ya ubé n'ihu na scorecards ma Alvarez si size na ike uru ga-, ji nwayọọ nwayọọ na n'ezie, yi Cotto ala. Cotto’s three-and-four-punch combinations will gradually reduce to two-punch combinations and single hooks to the body. The slower pace will favor Alvarez and he will be able to control the tempo and dig in with hard punches to the body and right hands to the face.

 

Aga n'ime 7nke gburugburu, na tuanu fọrọ nke nta ọbụna na ịmara na o nwere ike-afụ ụfụ ibu Alvarez, Cotto ga-aghọ ya na-elekwasị anya azụ ọkpọ na-abụghị. The change in tactic will momentarily bewilder Alvarez, bụ onye na-aghọ ala trading na trenches. The brief momentum shift will allow Cotto to regain a slight lead on the scorecards.

 

-Aghọta na ọ dị n'azụ, na-eche ihu ihe iro ndị ji nwayọọ nwayọọ na-adakpọ, Alvarez ga-etinye blistering mgbali na 9nke gburugburu, ịchụso mmadụ ná nzuzo Cotto, -amanye ya ime ka ọ bụ Punch na-adị ndụ, na-eme ya ka ịgbasi dị oké ọnụ ahịa ike na-eme otú ahụ. Whenever they get close, Alvarez ga-eji ya n'ubu na-muscle Cotto na clip ya na obere hooks na uppercuts, nwa oge ebu ya na 10nke gburugburu.

 

Iru-ya morphing n'ime a grotesque nkpuchi nke ọbara na ọzịza, a yiri nọrọ Cotto ga-aga n'ihi mebiri na 11nke, awakpo emecha na winging ụfọdụ nke ya kasị mma hooks aka ahu na isi. Alvarez will be happy to trade hooks with him and the action will be intense. Late in the round, Alvarez ga-adaa a iwepụ uppercut dị ka Cotto bụ dum na-emeghe na Puerto Rican fighter ga idebe na ikpere ya, -ekpe-ya anya fọrọ nke nta mechie na ọnụ ya na-eri eri ọbara. His heart will pull him to his feet and Alvarez will come in for the kill, nkwado Cotto ka ụdọ ebe mgbanwe nke punches bụ naanị gbochiri site mgbịrịgba.

 

Mgbe emetụ uwe na-amalite ikpeazụ gburugburu, Alvarez ga-ebibi Cotto si mmalite. A pair of right hands to the side of the head will wobble Cotto, -amanye ya adagharị ka ụdọ na-ada ikperè-ya abua. Referee Robert Byrd will administer the count with Cotto rising at the count of 8, vehemently alụso na ọ bụ OK ịnọgide. As soon as Byrd waves the fighters back together, Alvarez ga-apụta gafee mgbanaka, ọdịda a n'aka nri na n'aka-ekpe uppercut. As Cotto falls back against the neutral corner, Byrd ga kwụpụ na n'etiti ha na kwụsị agha, egosi Alvarez dị ka na-eto eto.
